Recently Hyundai has introduced the rugged Ioniq 5 XRT, which features new front and back designs, different alloy wheels, and upgraded tyres and suspension. This model is also raised and adjusted for light off-roading driving.

The international Ioniq 5 line-up now includes three distinct models: the standard Ioniq 5, the ‘N’ performance version, and the new XRT.

The XRT also has unique badges, black mirrors, slightly different seat upholstery, and a three-spoke steering wheel instead of the regular two-spoke one.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT comes with 84kWh battery and all-wheel drive, with the motor on each axle. While the exact power details have not been released, it is expected to have around 320 horsepower, similar to the standard dual-motor version.
